Hi! The Knicks play their final preseason game tonight, and they'll start the game with what appears to be the lineup you'll see when the regular season tips off next week:
.@derekfisher will start: @JmCalderon3, Afflalo, @carmeloanthony, @kporzee, @rolopez42. #Knicks

What happens after the opening minutes depends on how Derek Fisher feels about the final exhibition game. With nearly a week of rest ahead, he could use it as a dress rehearsal for a real basketball game. Or, with a bunch of cuts coming up, he could use the game as a final spin for some of the non-guaranteed training camp guys. Probably a bit of both. The Celtics won't have all their guys:
No Olynyk tonight (rest). Isaiah Thomas (shin) is doubtful. #Celtics #Knicks.
